Tour Description

Walk the sacred island of Delos and admire one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece. In the ancient times, Delos was the sacred island of god Apollo. The myth says that Leto, the mother of Apollo, gave birth to him on this island that suddenly emerged from the sea. In fact, the name Delos means that which emerged. An island with a history of 3,000 years, Delos was the most important religious centre in the antiquity. The island was not inhabited but it was frequently visited by pilgrims who were coming here to pay their respects and give their gifts to god Apollo. Gradually the island also became a political centre and gave its name to the Delian League, an alliance of ancient towns with Athens as leader.

During your visit on the island, you can see the temple of Apollo, the famous Lions of Delos, the ancient theatre, the temple of Leto and many other monuments. Do not also miss the Archaeological Museum of Delos with all the findings from excavations on the island. The island of Delos is a very impressive place and is described as an open archaeological museum.

After Delos, we head to Mykonos, one of the most famous tourist destinations in the world. Have few hours free to walk around the narrow streets of Mykonos Town, have a relaxing coffee in Little Venice, see the view from the Windmills and maybe have a quick swim. In the afternoon, we return to Naxos.

I wanted to bring to your attention that when I registered online for the tour and received a confirmation, I was under the impression that a tour guide was included for the price. Also, that there were not any additional fees of $12.00 that we paid at the door. It was not properly advertised.

Thank you for your feedback.
We regret to inform you that a tour guide is not included in this tour and it is nowhere stated in the description of the tour. Furthermore, the price for the entrance in Delos is something that needs to be paid locally and therefore it can not be included in the tour price. We would like to inform you that it is stated in the section "Price list and Terms" of the tour that you booked that the entrance fee to Delos is not included.

[Translated from Spanish]
The ship is only a means of transport to visit Delos and Mykonos. It does not include any information or guidance on board or on the ground.
It also moves horribly and many people got sick.
It would be interesting to give data about the destinations while cruising.

Naxos Star Tour: Delos-Mykonos has been the worst excursion of my life.
I did the tour in August 2017.
80% of travelers vomited on board in front of the total indifference of the crew, who simply threw paper bags right and left.
The boat literally jumped over the sea at great speed.
You arrive so sick to Delos that you cannot visit the island. Moreover, you have just 2.5h to do it, really short time.
Very unadvisable experience.
As one user in one famous online platform wrote, this boat should be named:"nauseous star"!.
From greeka.com everything was correct.

Thank you for your feedback. It is highly appreciated.
We are really sorry to hear that you had a bumpy ride on the specific date due to strong winds. Kindly note that when the winds are too strong the tour is canceled for security reasons and the total tour rate is refunded. On the specific date the winds were strong but not so much that it was not safe to complete the tour.
Kindly note that this is not something that happens regularly and that unfortunately weather prognoses often are not correct.
We are sorry for any inconvenience.

I was island hopping in Greece this summer and wanted to stay on either Santorini or Mykonos but not both so opted for Santorini then saw this day tour meaning I could visit both after all. Perfect amount of time in each place. Staff were very nice and helpful and the price of the tour was cheaper than staying in a hotel at that time. I recommend it.

Both my girlfriend and I enjoyed the trip, but think that there should have been more time in Delos and maybe less time in Mykonos.
I would nevertheless recommend the excursion to a friend should I be asked.
Thank you!
